Solid Waste Facility
Sussex County Solid Waste Convenience Collection Center
13088 Parham Ln, Stony Creek, VA 23882
(434) 246-1000A county-run drop-off spot in Stony Creek for household trash, yard debris, and basic recycling. Locals bring pickups, trailers, and the odd carload from around Sussex County. Not fancy - more of a working lot than a showroom, used by neighbors doing regular cleanup or weekend projects.
Drive up a short lane to an entrance area with a small booth and a gate. There’s a scale on site, so traffic can pause twice: coming in and again leaving. Pull close to the booths or containers that sit out on a gravel/asphalt pad; larger trucks and trailers can usually maneuver through but tight turns exist. Recycling bins and yard-waste piles are set off from the main trash drop-off, and signs and arrows point toward where to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Go midweek or early morning on a weekend to avoid long queues; spring and fall cleanup days get especially busy.
- Secure tarps and tie down loose material before arriving so nothing blows out while driving and unloading can be quicker.
- Bring gloves, a shovel or ratchet straps for heavier loads, and sort cardboard from brush at the tailgate so unloading takes less time.
